Rocoto, the pride of our andean region in Peru! We have been growing these amazing peppers for thousands of years. I'm currently in Lima (Peru), the biggest city (capital city of Peru) but I grow some native rocotos in my garden in Ancash (10,000 feet above sea level), imo they are the best rocotos I've ever had. If anyone is interested in trading seeds just let me know.
I have a good friend from Peru who has nurtured my love for Rocotos and other native varieties. I would love to trade seeds with you. Please contact me rob@7pot.club. I'm traveling so it may take me a few days to respond.
I just stumbled on this, and really enjoyed the video. My mother in-law brought me a bunch of these peppers back from Ecuador last year, and we found them to be the tastiest peppers I think we've ever had. We roasted them and made a simple salsa out of them (with tomatoes, garlic and salt is all). They were hotter than expected, but the taste is just out of this world. Now that they are all gone, and I can't get any more, I am going to try and grow some from the seeds I saved. We live in NW Montana, so I will be starting them indoors over the winter and hopefully by spring they will be established. I wish these were more widely available in stores! Thanks again...
Nice update Rob, I personally enjoy the rocoto pepper varieties. Toss one pod into a small cup of whole fruit and lightly chop or blend to make a fresh fruit delight to put over biscuits.
Hello Yes.... in the local markets of the Andean region we can get rocoto peppers. There are several varieties with different sizes and forms. Colors are red and yellow.
@@7PotClub here in Ecuador hot peppers have been used for more than 9000 years. Archaeological finds have discovered pepper remains in the digs. There is a huge variety of chiles in the 3 natural regions. Amazon jungle, Andes mountains and pacific coastal area not including Galapagos. Salutes
Same method i use (and kang starr) for overwintering. Though i find it goes quicker and cleaner to put the root ball in a bucket of water and massage the dirt. Comes right off.
Helpful info! I am not a gardener, but my unused back yard garden space will get put back to use next session. The Aerogarden will give me things to put out. I live in SLC, UT area. This year has been brutal. No rain w/incredible heat. I think we are in for a dry winter as well. At least I can enjoy solar and nocturnal astronomy 'till growing season.
I love your videos Rob and Cat. You have really inspired me to have a serious go at growing chillies this year. I have about half a dozen variates in the glass house now, just starting to plant them out this week. Most are blacks and purples but some habaneros to. Thats plenty hot enough for me :D Keep making these fantastic videos, that always brighten my day.
Great video. You had a great season, As did I. Now I’m focusing on my overwinter projects and I’m already itching to start seeds for next year. Stay warm and safe this winter! I look forward to more videos. 🤙🏾🤙🏾
That sounds like a delishious pepper Rob! I'm gonna have to try and grow it now, Lol My peppers are doing just as good as yours. We had a few nights that went down in the upper 30's. I cut some branches that had a lot of unripened peppers on them and put them in a bucket of water in the house and they are ripening up very nicely for me! Have a great week!
Those look like fantastic peppers. So juicy and such thick walls. What kind of dish will you use them in? Thanks for sharing some of your winter preparations with us Rob.
Nice review and background info, Rob! I'm embarrassed to say I still have not cleaned up my mess from the 2019 growing season. I'm hoping to start my seeds for 2020 by next weekend. Good luck with your overwinters. I have a KSLSB in my office that appears to be responding well to one of the Sansi lights I have.
Well what a beautiful day for enjoying outdoors while tasting that beautiful pepper. Was that a view from your backyard ?. I am crazy all thick walled peppers !! They are so juicy & meaty yum yum. So cool for donating peppers plants for over wintering...let us know how they survive & maybe pictures too. I had one plant I wanted to try to save although I didn't care the peppers that much but the plant itself was just so pretty but I didn't get it done & now them all are dead. I'll be very curious to see how the plants you saved will do. Hopefully no bugs & whatnot's make it this time. Great video, much enjoyed. Thanks 👍
Thanks Paivi! Yes, that's our backyard. Needs some new plantings next year. Not enough sun to grow peppers back there. I will provide updates on the overwintering. Keeping my fingers crossed! 🌶❤️
When you take 6 locotos, eveb from the same plant, one can be almost not hot, a second one can be a killer.. but the other three are perfect and delicious. Abother tip with locotos, if you cut in slices without touching the seeds, it is less hot than if you cut in rings. Another interesting specie is called 'Ululica', it is aeound 1/2cm to 1cm in diameter, also black seeds and very hot. Greetings from and old Bolivian dog that lives in the Galilee.
The Ecuadorian Red Pepper for Hell is one of the best tasting red peppers if you don't get into the heat of it. For years I would only grow pubescens in 100 gallon horse troughs and do everything I could to keep them alive through the winter.
Good evening Rob I would like to know if you could do me a big favor, for the past few years I've been growing basically Carolina Reapers ghost peppers and Trinidad scorpions this year it's almost exclusively Carolina Reapers but next year I would like to increase the type of peppers that I grow dramatically that is hot peppers are you aware of a good quality seed source that I can purchase from? Any help in this matter would be appreciated greatly
I'm really liking it. I love the natural color, that it's totally silent, and it doesn't run hot, either. Very bright for the small amount of power it uses.
That was a while back, so hard to remember. For the live shots, I'm using a Sennheiser wireless lavalier mic plugged directly into the camera. For the voiceover, probably using a Shure SM7 plugged into a UAD Apollo 8 interface.
The size is mostly determined by genetics, but I used an organic fish manure compost this year called Fishnure and I grew larger habs than I ever have before. I was surprised and pleased!
This was my first year growing organic. I mixed in Fishnure Organic Fish Manure Fertilizer with my potting mix at a 4-to-1 ratio when planting in pots, and about a pound per plant in the garden. I also used a little liquid transplant fertilizer to avoid shock. I did not do additional fertilization during the season. Worked well, but next year I will do some additional fertilization on the potted plants mid-July, probably with a Fishnure tea.
Thank you. Love your program and peppers. This year I'm going to try using grow pots because of the 115 degree heat here. It dries out the plastic pots so fast. Will let you know how it works.
For you next grow (In Australia, we are growing now), perhaps consider a sandy mix to your soil as you often complain about water logged plants. Perhaps a side by side pot test?
Good idea. Most years we don't have a problem with water logged pots. This year was the wettest year on record and kind of an aberation (I hope). But experimenting with a sandy mix is intriguing!
I grew the Rocoto Manzano this year. The taste was amazing, but they had way to much heat for me. I couldn't even eat bread to stop the heat because my tongue hurt so bad. And it felt like the heat lastet forever. Altough, I'm growing them again next year
So you can switch from starting in water or soil after all. 🤔 My wife tells me you can't start from one and switch to the other. I'd like to switch a number of my plants from potted to hydroponics to help speed up the growing process, but we don't have our own place with all the necessary room right now.
That is a great pepper Rob, I just love the song U made MY FAVORATE PEPPER, listen to it every time I watch Ur channel!! Say question for U, by freezing pepper seeds will it hurt the germination of the seed in a later use? Thanks
I'm glad you like that song James! I hope to do a streaming album of my songs soon. I've never tried germinating pepper seeds that have been frozen, but I don't know why it wouldn't work. We collect zinnia seeds every year and keep them in the unheated garage, and they always germinate. UPDATE: This guy did it successfully: th-cam.com/video/WbpudebWg4Q/w-d-xo.html
@@7PotClub Thanks Rob, Im going to try since I have so many Carolina Reaper Peppers on hand I cant use them all. I know the World Seed Bank freezes seeds at a very low temp. for many yrs. incase there is a shortage or some kind of calamity in the world so we dont loose our food seeds. I hear they have every seed in the world!! U said one time U have over 100 different pepper seeds, thats cool, I live in the Philippines and want to grow many different kinds of peppers on my property hehe, but one problem getting seeds and my retirement, we R getting old!! Thanks
Hi rob. Do you sell peppers? And if so, do you have whole pods?. Everyone on msp craigslist is selling powder. There was one that was from Minneapolis selling whole chocolate habaneros. I wanted to ask him if it was you. Lol
I've had pretty good luck from just burying a rotting pepper in a 4" pot and keeping it moist. Once the sprouts are up, separate or thin. (SF Bay Area)
i don't want that thing he heee your plants looks like mine FROST BIT next yr just going to grow Green Chili Peppers and Red Habanero Pepper get my fill of them I REALLY LOVE THE TASTE OF THE GREEN CHILI PEPPERS there better than BELL PEPPERS with a little more heat> i do love the Cayenne and Jalapenos as well> for every day eating YUM i do need like a Ghost or Habanero for HOT WINGS AND THINGS > bad thing about Ghost Peppers no favor! ALL HEAT!
I know you arent a fan of saving your own seeds because of the potential for cross polination. A convenient or inconvenient ( depending on what you want to do) thing about pubesense is they do not produce fertile offspring when crossed with any of the domestic species. So seeds saved will either be true or wont sprout.
I don't know. May be a translation issue. It bugged me at first, but now I think it's kind of cool. This pepper doesn't come from hell, it's hot enough for hell!
I've grown several varieties of Peruvian rocoto and have chewed them the same way. They are great, but nowhere near the world's hottest peppers. I grow many varieties of peppers from Peru, and love them all! 😀🌶
Seriously??? You're telling me that I need to do more research? No offense, but maybe you should cut back on your alcohol intake. 😀 Peppers don't know or care how humans divide the world into countries. Peru is not the only country where Rocoto are found. Read the Wikipedia article: "It belongs to a species of the genus Capsicum (pepper), and is known in Peru and Ecuador as rocoto..." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsicum_pubescens Anyway, thanks for watching and have a great day.
@@7PotClub If you only knew how stupid that comment is, you wouldn't have made it. The first sentence of the Wiki "article" mentions nothing of Ecuador which leads me to believe it's your own personal bias which makes you think that it is. Furthermore, it explicitly says that it was "documented by Ancient Peruvians." There's literally only one mention of Ecuador and it only makes reference to what it's called, nothing of what would make it, in fact, Ecuadorian. Don't get me wrong. I love it whenever someone is able to contribute to it's prominence, but not when they also attribute to it something which is objective misinformation.
@@7PotClub wait a minute but isn’t calling them Ecuadorian peppers also assigning borders? Also I’m speaking culturally Peruvians have rocoto peppers as a main staple of cuisine being someone who is from Peru and lived there and have been to every country in South America I can tell you no other country there has rocoto pepper as significantly in their pallate as Peruvians. Which says something about possible origination and cultivation. Technically if you want to be specific rocoto was cultivated in the Andes which envelops seven countries being Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Argentina. But being as the other countries besides Peru do not have it in their cuisine nearly as prominently it’s fair to make a connection that the staple has been primarily used by the people originating and still occupying Peru.
So you can switch from starting in water or soil after all. 🤔 My wife tells me you can't start from one and switch to the other.

But being as the other countries besides Peru do not have it in their cuisine nearly as prominently it’s fair to make a connection that the staple has been primarily used by the people originating and still occupying Peru.
I don't dispute anything you've said, but the simple fact is that this is a specific variety of Rocoto that was cultivated in Ecuador.
Get a hair cut.
Are you kidding? Are you living in 1964? 😆
So you can switch from starting in water or soil after all. 🤔
My wife tells me you can't start from one and switch to the other.
I'd like to switch a number of my plants from potted to hydroponics to help speed up the growing process, but we don't have our own place with all the necessary room right now.
Good luck Andrew! Make sure you get all the soil off the roots first.
